PITCHER BINGHAm's POSITION

He Hearkens to the PersHasfons of n College Chum and Turns sProfessional -FttzgeraId Going to Lynn-Interest- ing Chips From She Ball Field. A special from Duluth to the Boston Her aid says that Bingham, Harvards crack pitcher, has been fully identified in ssBrew- ster," the alleged California phenomenon who l is pitching for that team. Bingham, it said, ! had been induced to play professionally by l former college chum, by whom he was assur- l ed that detection was impossible, and his l representations, coupled with desire to earn
 money enough to carry him through the next | academic year, got the better of the young pitchers judgment and placed him in his present position.
 Troy has been made captain of the Man chesters.
 Krieg, who was announced as signed by the | Hartford management, is playing with the | Minneapolis club.
 Myers of the Washingtons has made but \ two errors in the last thirteen games at ! ond base.
 o'Brien of the washingtons has made three | doubles, seven triples and seven home runs \ this season.
 In all the time he was captain of the New Works, Johnny Ward is said to have fined | but three men-Keefe, Connor and Deasley. | Morrill, hasn't made an error in the last fourteen games, and has made at least one clean hit in every one but one of them. Accord ing to league reckoning, his average is 361 The East has won 80 games to 69 for the West in the league. In the association the West has won 9S to S2 for the East The l total shows 167 for the West to 162 for the East.
 Lovett struck out twelve men in his first game at Oshkosh.
 So far this season the Washingtons have ! won as many games as they did all last year, ! and lost a little over one-third as many. The clubs record for the past three weeks sur passes that of any other league club. The Detroit Free Press heralds G1uber as a phenomenal twirler and handicaps him at the start. The New Works will probably reduce the size of his head to-day. Chris Von Der Ahe is to take the Browns into the league. He has soured on his old love. A meeting of the association will be held September 3.
 Spaldlng has raised the question as to when the league season closes. President Young decides that the date on which the last game ! is scheduled settles that point, and the season | can only be extended by calling special meeting of the league. The death of McKinnon will cause impor. { tant changes in the Pittsburg nine. Dalrym- pie has been made captain, and Coleman will cover first base and Brown will go to right | field, Beecher taking center field. Manager Kelly last evening received dis patch from Fitzgerald announcing that he had been urged to go to Lynn by Tony Mur- phy. MT. Kelly telegraphed back advising him to go with Tony, and he will sign with ' that team to-day. Lynn is to be congratu- \ lated, for she has secured fine pitcher and gentleman.
 Crowley has not yet left town. He likes New Haven and may stay here for some time Fhalon will be in town to. day. The pitcher of the Staten Islands is Tyng, the once famous Harvard catcher. Stagg is the pitcher of the Bergen Points These two clubs played together last week Wednesday, I the latter winning to 2. All the runs were { made in the first inning. Stagg had IS as- sists and one put out. Each club had one error.
 The eastern clubs will begin their western
 season to-day, the Bostons at Chicago, the New Yorks at etroit, the Philadelphias at Pittsburg and the Washingtons at Indianap- olis.
 Beatin and kinslow, Allentown, Pas, best
